which had been a foot or more below the
hall floor, was on a level with the foor.
Ex-Sheriff Cornelius j. Cronan effected
the sale of the property on which the COM
pany is building its roadway. He said to
one of the News reporters later in the day
that these remarkable ground swells indi-
Gated the presence beneath the streets of
an under ground swamp. The piling had
sunk 100 feet he thought. A sinkage of 80
or 40 feet was expected. The buildings
in that vicinity evidently rested on crust
of hard earth. Beneath this was a deep
swamp of very soft earth. The filling sank
into this, and by pressure made the ground
swellings referred to. la the immediate
vicinity of the rail road earth works the
swelling was much more noticeable even,
than those the reporters attention was
called to. Many buildings had been raised
several feet above the ordinary street level.
The company had bought all those build
ings, and had rececently purchased the
buildings of McDermott on Second street
as we'll. He said that hundreds of cart
loads of earth had been put into the earth
works. and it seemed solid, but in night
the crust gave way and the filing all sank
into the meadow beneath. This phenome-
non was not unlike that which was dis
closed by the sinking Of MONTGOMERY street
when it was built across the Meadows years
ago. For long time the filing there sank
and disap 2eared into the meadow more
quickly than it could be replaced.
Building Inspector Buckley says that
these underground upheavals are of very
wide range. They have unsettled the
fouadations of buildings as far distant as
Third street, and he has been forced to
condemn dwellings even there. So far he
has condemned the McDermitt buildings.
two houses on First and Merseles streets
belonging to Patrick Hyland, one belong
ing to John Cassidy on First street, seven
houses belonging to William Whelan on
Third street between Merseles and the
company's earth works; two houses be-
longing to John Cronan on Third street,
the Kohler and the Bender houses; and
yesterday he was in the Italian region on
First street looking into the conditions of
buildings there. The little row of two
story tenements described above, belong
to the Abattoir and have been condemned
by their owners.

4 Dividend DECLARED.
sixty Per Cent. for DepOsitors In the
Germania Savings Bank.

Senator Edwards, counsel for the trus-
tees of the Germania Savings Institution,
which was wrecked by Treasurer Schroe-
der's flight, went before Chancellor Run
yon Friday night with papers showing that
the trustees are prepared to pay dividend
of GO per cent. to deposit 2rs, and the
Chancellor signed an order directing that
such payments be made. A little time Will
be consumed in writing up the pass-book
and all depositors are requested to hand IN
their books at once, If they have not already
done 80. The trustees expect to have
everything IN readiness by Saturday next
to make the payments. An advertisement
il another column contains some informa-
ton for depositor5.
In the report published in these columns
two weeks ago, the Sunday toiioW ing
Schroeders flight, we referred to the fact
that the assets of the bank were scarcely
enough. even with the $50, 900 Schroeder
took with him, to cover the liabilities. 1t IS
now learned that there is DO such thing as
a capital or a reserve fund in Saving Banks,
and that the surplus is only accumulated
after years of operation. In new BANKS,
like the Germania this is necessarily small.
1t is noted as singular fact that the mort
cages the bank took by assignment or
pur ;hases are among the best of its
assets. and the bank trustees have
had the offer of Il capitalist to
buy them all at their face value with ac-
crued interest, and to pay all the expenses
attending their transfer The shrlnkage IN
the value of the real estate assets neid by
by the bank, which it was at first thought
would amount to $1,000, will not, 1t has
since been ascertained, exceed So. 800. The
only securities of doubtful value held by
the bank are the SIG, 600 of Secaucus bonds.
These were given for county road through
Secaucus; and their value has been I'M
paired by the failure of the county to en-
force payment of the assessments tor the
improvement. There are several years IN
terest due on the bonds and they may
prove to be worth 10000 or $l1 900 more
even than the value at which they were
scheduled in the statement to the Chancei-
lor At meeting of the Bank Trustees,
last evening, young Mr.. Lienan and Coua-
selor Edwards were appointed committee
to arrange to dispose of the banks assets,
or to determine what of them can advan-
tageously be sold now President Lienan,
who is row in Europe, is expected back IN
fortnight. No one knows when Ereasur-
er Schroeder may be expected back.

Little red points about the size of
a pins head closely dotted over the
skin form the characteristic erup
ton of scarlet fever. At first the
redness is not very marked but later
becomes quite brilliant. The face is
not affected as much rs the rest of
the body, but with this exception
the breaking out is quite equally
spread over the whole surface of the
body. In the more severe cases the
redness of these points runs. to-
gether, and q general scarlet blush
of the whole skin results the more
severe the case the more intense the
redness.
